Myranda's Story...

This little chihuahua mix (guessed with feist) is ready for her forever home! One that will work on puppy training and teaching her all kinds of good things. Myranda is an 8 month old mix. Her mother, Meredith, is a beautiful 10 lb chihuahua and we are guessing Myranda to have some feist and she weighs 15 lbs. Myranda is a good girl who has been exposed to cats, pet pigs, and other dogs. It can take her a minute to feel comfortable and not nervous but once she is, she is a fun loving girl full of personality. Please help Myranda find her forever home that she deserves so much!

Myranda deserves a forever home. How can you pass up a face like that? If interested in meeting and potentially adopting, please visit forbellessake.org for the adoption application. Adoption fee is $175. She is fully vetted to include dewormings, vaccinations, spay, and microchip. â*Fenced yard or leash only with access to a dog park is required for adoption.

About Our Rescue Group...

For Belle's Sake Rescue & Rehabilitation is founded by Christian and Shelby Bird who spend their mornings, evenings, and weekends caring for 60+ dogs and cats rescued from high kill animal shelters. During the day, they spend their time serving their country in the United States Air Force.

We started rescue in 2005 and have been saving lives ever since. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and love but for the Birds, it is a family affair! Our three young children share the same passion for animals and helping and we are blessed to have them sharing the experience!

A LITTLE ABOUT FOR BELLE'S SAKE RESCUE & REHAB

BELLE'S STORYBelle, a dog rescued by Shelby Bird, sits in the field where she was found in Sumter S.C., April 1, 2012. Belle suffered alone in the field for five days; she was malnourished and had open wounds and fire ants across her body before Bird rescued her. She died hours after being rescued. In honor of her, the Birds started “For Belle’s Sake Rescue and Rehabilitation,” an animal rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and pet watching service.

In honor of a particularly memorable rescue, a dog named Belle, the Birds started "For Belle's Sake Rescue and Rehabilitation," an animal rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and pet watching service.Belle was a pit bull mix, or pibble.

Belle passed away at 12:03 am April 2, 2012, hours after being rescued. She died from complications resulting from her original owners' maltreatment. When the Birds received a call to rescue her, she was in critical condition. They found her on the side of a road, malnourished, with open wounds and fire ants on her body."We got a phone call in the late afternoon about a dog who had been hit by a car," Shelby explained. "A woman was at a stop sign, looked over into a grassy field and saw a head peering over the grass. So she walked out into the field and found Belle laying there."

"Belle couldn't stand and was surrounded by cans of dog food and chicken. She was covered in red ants, which had to have been very painful. We brought her home and set her up in a crate. When we carried her into the house, I flipped her over and her wounds were terrible," she continued. "We immediately called an EMT to come evaluate her since the nearest after hours vet clinic was in Columbia at the time. It was then that I named her Belle."

"She had two shattered back legs, a broken back, all of the skin and muscle was missing from her hind legs from road rash, and she was in organ failure," Shelby explained "We knew if we tried to save her, it would be a long and painful process and she more than likely would not survive it. She needed blood transfusions and both hind legs amputated. The EMT said she was in shock and her body was shutting down.""He said her wounds appeared to be at least five days old," Shelby said. "Meaning she suffered that duration alone in excruciating pain."

"Someone knew she was there because they were trying to feed her," she continued. "But no one helped.""The entire time he was evaluating her, her tail was wagging," she said. "I knelt before her, held out my hands, and asked a very simple question. 'Belle, what do you want?'"She rested her head in the palm of my hands and closed her eyes," she explained. "Her breathing got slow and she told me she was ready to go."Everything we do, we do For Belle's Sake
